Oh, Lord!
Grant me
the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
The Serenity Prayer: It is the common name for an originally untitled prayer by the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. The prayer has been adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve-step programs. I believe it’s not only for alcoholics but also for those suffering any kind of problems. And also remember the following sentiment: For every ailment under the sun There is a remedy, or there is none; If there be one, try to find it; If there be none, never mind it. W.W. Bartley (1695)
''It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in a language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.''
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), British novelist, poet. Bathsheba, in Far from the Madding Crowd, ch. 51 (1874)
